So I wanna start with a disclaimer:

I do *not* fuck with pimps.

I do not like pimps.

I think that they are generally scum.

But they probably don’t operate like how you imagine.


First, I wanna address the cultural conception of the “pimp”

This conception is based in white supremacy

It is a black and/or foreign man, who kidnaps little white girls and sells their innocence against their will with violence

This is what you’ve been told is a “pimp”

I need you to delete this from your brain because this caricature of white supremacist fear of physically and sexually aggressive black men does not exist

The first person in the sex industry who tried to be my “pimp” was a skinny 30 year old white woman who was also a stripper.

There’s a reason anti-SW orgs push the imagery of evil non-white men as pimps

I also need everyone to know 99.9999% of pimps are not in the business of kidnapping people and locking them in a hotel room against their will to service customers.

I can’t say it never ever ever ever could happen, but, the VAST majority of the time, it is not that
Some public accountability over an argument that probably doesn’t matter but should exist publicly. To understand this feud you need to know a few things. This is my memory which isn’t perfect but is the context of what happened with me and @pinwheelempire (thread)


1. I was blocked by @pinwheelempire around 3 years ago. Something that actually really hurt as a life long Blazers fan. I thought it was because I tweeted stupid stuff about Stotts as a passionate fan during that playoffs that I don’t currently believe.

2. At some point I asked why and was informed by multiple people that the account was ran by a cop and that many media members disliked him. This was told to me many times by many people. I then believed that my race, and my public protesting of police was why I was blocked.

3. I do not work with police in any capacity because of personal trauma and historical oppression. I believe people should know when they are interacting with police. I also was/am salty about the block as a life long fan. I am still blocked.

4. Periodically I would tweet reminders that the account was ran by a cop, which I believed. Although part of my incentive was that I was hurt by the block as a fan. Recently I tweeted such a reminder which I believed especially pertinent given the current uprising.
In this thread I'll be going into specifics on my argument of how women born with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome are intersex females and not intersex males. I'll be using the five factors of sex determination which I went into in this


To start with the the way the five factors work is that together they add up to one of the two results, I think this is a safe estimate given the casing of Hayley Haynes.. which can be backed up by a few other findings where uterine tissue was discovered:

There was an official statement made that determined the current ongoing issues with uterus transplants being an issue in AIS women having nothing to do with their Y chromosome which currently people use chromosomes to argue genotype, or

Let's start then, with the first and most simple of factors. Karyotype.

In those born with CAIS they are born with a 46 XY karyotype with a SRY gene on the Y chromosome. However there is a mutation in the primary X chromosome that leads to not being able to process androgens.

This in turn leads to testicular feminization caused by a mutation in the X chromosome that leads to the body resisting, or not being effected by androgens produced in the body. We'll go more into that later.

Karyotype: Male Typical 46 XY[SRY]
My mentor/dear friend told me that I speak up AND speak out, and how this is rare.

Today, I want to talk what it's like when I see, sense & feel that a more senior Black woman is attempting to sabatoge me and assassinate my character. A💔 🧵

It all started here. I joined @PublicHealth in 2018 and was elected chair in 2019. As can be seen, I was SO excited that the members of this section believed in my leadership enough to elect me to this


Since I cross paths with very few other Black women epidemiologists in these academic streets, I was looking forward to working with the Black women leaders in this section.


I started observing that the communication to me was minimal, there was little documentation on processes & procedures, and I was (and felt like) an outsider here. I also felt bad vibes, and tried to set up a mtg to check in on communication & leadership styles. It never happened

Then, our annual meeting happened, & I had been struggling with what I experienced as condescending communication and unwelcoming culture. I was like this can't be right, let me contact @PublicHealth staff for some support.
